2024 Emmy Predictions: Best Drama Supporting Actress
Ready to make your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best Drama Supporting Actress? Before you do, take a look through our photo gallery featuring the likeliest contenders. Elizabeth Debicki (“The Crown”) being the only 2023 nominee eligible to return puts her in the frontrunner position and leaves the remaining slots open to a bevy of formidable newcomers and past hopefuls.
This year’s supporting actress candidates will not have to fend off reigning champ Jennifer Coolidge of “The White Lotus,” which is set to return in 2025 with an almost completely fresh cast. All nine acting nominees from the show’s most recent season are presumably finished playing their roles, as are 2023 featured female competitors Rhea Seehorn and J. Smith-Cameron from the concluded series “Better Call Saul” and “Succession.”
“The Morning Show” cast mates Julianna Margulies and Holland Taylor are each seeking a second win in this category after respectively being honored for “ER” (1995) and “The Practice” (1999). The same applies to Archie Panjabi (“Hijack”), who previously won for “The Good Wife” (2010).
“Sugar” actress Anna Gunn is vying for a third trophy of this kind following her dual “Breaking Bad” victories (2013-2014). Also in the mix are “The Gilded Age” costars Christine Baranski and Cynthia Nixon, who scored Best Comedy Supporting Actress wins for “Cybill” (1995) and “Sex and the City” (2004).
Actresses who could soon earn bids for new drama series include Adina Porter (“The Changeling”), Amy Ryan (“Sugar”), and Harriet Walter (“Silo”).
